Friday, February 18, 2011 - 01:48 am Welcome to all! This game is complex in its economic depth and while I am new at this,I thought I would share my journey with you all as I attempt to guide my country back from its current 2.3T Debt into a stable and profitable country. That's the theory! I will share with you the mistakes I made along the way to this rather sad little countries current position. I was at level 6 and then the demise of this country has dragged me back to level 4! I won't be completing this in one post because obviously, I haven't fixed it yet! I will update this thread regularly and maybe tidy it up into a new one post thread later.

Friday, February 18, 2011 - 08:06 pm Military Stood out for me as well... Attempting Solution 1 From top menu... War:Garrison:Garrison Units Reducing Garrison Levels from lots to erm..not lots! good time to check all terrestial targets for garrison coverage while your at it

next we go to trade:products in stock apply the following rule sell anything with a shield ignore profit from sale use Sell Immediate if unit cost not in billions of SC's

Agree with SS (Social Security) being too high but can only reduce it by a small % each month. Adjusted to lower level to save funds. Hope for no election this year :D

Since we are being nice to our people this year I shut a few hospitals and converted a few into special clinics while I was there, might have to end up rebuilding these to level up but aim is to stabilize P&L first.

Saturday, February 19, 2011 - 06:33 am Try to pay back your loans early. It saves you tons in interest in the long run. When I first joined many months back, in September of 2009 before going away for a bit, I used that to get my countries out of debt. With my former 5T debt of that country, its saved me at least 50B in interest over the course of the loans.

Yay! So in order to reduce military spending I went to ground and air units and dissolved them. This leaves you undefended so make sure you rebuild them once you get your corps making some cash for ya! Keep some supply units to adjust garrison levels. on debt, pay off any loans paying greater than 15% interest - its ok to have some debt but make sure you aren't hurt by it

finally, the profit shown here is not good enough yet, It is limited by some over-development in corporations - i.e. I built more corps than supportable by the labor market. As a guide, 1 corp for 750k pop. In my case I may keep a few more open and buy population to cover this - most are fully upgraded already and expensive to close.

Friday, March 25, 2011 - 12:36 pm No. Keep surplus workers and build indexes and try to level (Game Level awards) which will give you about 250 Gold Coins to reach Level 6. That has a SC$ cash value of about 70-75T SC$. Even in the biggest, most profitable countries it would take a long time to reach those cash profits.
